QB_ENVIRONMENT=production
QUICKBOOKS_REDIRECT_URI = // callback uri

const Quickbooks = require('quickbooks-accounting');
const qb = new Quickbooks();

let token,
    authUri = qb.createConnection({
        clientId: process.env.QUICKBOOKS_CLIENT_ID,
        clientSecret: process.env.QUICKBOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET,
        environment: process.env.QUICKBOOKS_ENVIRONMENT,
        redirectUri: process.env.QUICKBOOKS_REDIRECT_URI //serves to be the callback uri
})

app.get('/app', function(req, res) {
    res.redirect(authUri);
});

app.get('/callback', function(req, res) {
    token = await qb.getToken(req.url); // getting token
    /**
     * you can either choose to send token to front end server res.status(200).json(token)
     * or redirect somewhere if using template engine res.render('some_route', {token})
     * */
